Can Spider-Man Handle A Lot of Spider-Slayers?
Big Time continues but we know Spider-Man's luck can't hold out forever, right? Get ready for a boatload of Spider-Slayers plus the return of Mac Gargan as the Scorpion.
The Good
You want character development, that's what you get with Dan Slott writing. I may not be crazy about Carlie Cooper and Peter Parker as a couple but there's a nice conversation involving the two. We also see more of Peter's cast of supporting characters including Flash Thompson and Betty Brant. While setting things up for the new story arc, Slott continues his moments of humor that don't feel forced when they pop up.Stefano Caselli's art allows the characters to have detailed expressions that speak volumes on their own. When the slayers attack, you get a sense of being overwhelmed by the sheer number.
The back up story by Fred Van Lente and Reilly Brown follows up on J. Jonah Jameson being forced to give Spider-Man the key to the city. There is some great banter between the two and we're left with a bit of a cliffhanger.
